yeah, they are pretty lame right now, but i'm used to an upright riding posture and was having a lot of trouble riding with the drops in the usual "down-low" position. tomorrow i will take a hacksaw / pipe cutter to them and make bullhorns.

the biggest challenge for me right now is to make this bike as rideable as possible without blowing anymore money on it. thanks to Times Up! i have a place to work on it, with all the tools i'll need and experienced mechanics to give advice. but in terms of components, i want to use as much stuff that's on the bike as possible, versus buying new ones, since the frame itself doesn't justify them. although i'm open to anyone who wants to make a counter-argument on that point.

anyways, feel free to tell me the bike sux, but please also include at least some useful suggestions* as well.


*telling me to throw it in the East River is not a useful suggestion.


...because threads about how you roll your jeans, wear your backpack, or teach your girlfriend how to skid are so much more important.
